Re:mate in 2 moves- my problem - 2007/05/15 07:59
The trick is to keep the king pinned from leaving h3, while you mop him up.
I would suggest getting the rook out of the way for the Queen to keep the king trapped by trading rooks, Rf3xc3 ... Black would obviously respond by Ne4xc3. With the knight out of the way, the bishop then mates with b1-f5
Black could postpone destiny for a couple of moves by not indulging and leaving the knight there, and instead trying to free the king by Ba6-e2 or Nf8xg6 ... but then the Bishop would take the annoying knight b1xe4 and continue on the same path to mate.
